engine immediately after starting
the engine.
If the engine is cold, idle for sever-
al seconds before sufficient lubri-
cation is ensured in the turbo
charger unit.
2. After high speed or extended driv-
ing that requires heavy engine
load, idle the engine about 1
minute before turning the engine

bocharger to cool prior to shutting
the engine off.Do not turn off the engine immedi-
ately after it has been subjected to
a heavy load. Doing so may cause
severe damage to the engine or
turbo charger unit.To prevent damage to the vehicle:

the START position for more
than 10 seconds. Wait 5 to 10
seconds before trying again.

the START position with the
engine running. It may damage
the starter.

permit, you may put the shift
lever in the N (Neutral) position
whilst the vehicle is still moving
and turn the ignition switch to
the START position in an
attempt to restart the engine.
